WE'RE GOING TO HEAD OVER TO OUR REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC PARTNERS HERE TONIGHT. THIS DAVID IGE STORY, A GUY THAT WASN'T REALLY WELL KNOWN AND TONIGHT HE IS LEADING AND HAS A BIG LEAD OVER OUR INCUMBENT GOVERNOR AFTER THAT FIRST PRINTOUT. WOULD YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS OVER? IT'S DONE. ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S IT. WHAT WENT WRONG AND LET'S START WITH OUR FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HERE IN HAWAII. DYLAN, WHAT HAPPENED? IT STARTED FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THE DAY HE TOOK OFFICE HE DID THINGS THAT PEOPLE QUESTIONED. ANTAGONIZED HIS BASE. YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN RECOVER FROM THEM AND THEY PILE UP. THE FIRST WAS THE PENSION TAX. AND THE TEACHER CONTRACT. A VERY FAMOUS LINE IS I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND. I'M YOUR GOVERNOR. THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY HIGH TURNOVER IN HIS CABINET. I WOULD GUESS HE'S HAD TWICE AS MUCH TURNOVER IN SENIOR STAFF THAN ANY OTHER GOVERNOR WE'VE HAD. AND THEN THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, YOU CANNOT IGNORE THAT AND THE WAY PEOPLE FELT ABOUT THAT. WHEN YOU PILE THEM ALL TOGETHER, IT'S REALLY HARD TO RECOVER FROM IT. AND THE NUMBERS ARE THERE, DAVID IGE LEADS NEIL ABERCROMBIE BY 34 PERCENTAGE POINTS. WHAT HAPPENED THAT LED TO HIS DEDEMISE? LET'S NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM DAVID IGE BECAUSE THERE HAD TO HAVE BEEN A CHOICE MADE BY PEOPLE AND HE OBVIOUSLY DID A TREMENDOUS JOB OF GETTING KNOWN ON A SHOE STRING BUDGET. THERE'S A LOT OF POSITIVE ON THE DAVID IGE SIDE AND LET'S NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THAT BECAUSE THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT GOING INTO THE GENERAL ELECTION. YOU KNOW, NEIL, I SERVED WITH HIM FOR FOUR YEARS, HE WAS A GOOD CONGRESSMAN. HE HAD A GOOD CAREER BEFORE THAT. HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS. SAYS WHAT HE MEANS. I THINK THAT IT WAS NO ONE THING. I THINK WE COULD SIT HERE AND PICK OFF THE PENSION TAX OR ANY NUMBER OF ISSUES BUT I THINK WHAT IT CAME DOWN TO WAS JUST SOME SENSE OF EXHAUSTION WITH NEIL ABERCROMBIE AT THE END OF THE DAY. PERHAPS A COMBINATION OF STYLE AND TOUGH DECISIONS. OTHER GOVERNORS HAVE HAD TO MAKE TOUGH DECISIONS ALSO AND THEY WERE RE-ELECTED. SO I DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST CHALK THIS UP TO THE TOUGH DECISIONS OF THE GOVERNOR'S
